Sessions by video and chat — wherever you happen to be working

Northstar Consulting

One-to-one advice from vetted business and career consultants, booked around your week rather than theirs.

  • Vetted advisors
  • 1:1 sessions
  • Follow-up included

What Northstar actually does

Matched to the problem, not the category

You describe the decision in front of you — pricing, a hire, a pivot, a promotion conversation — and we put you with an advisor who has done that specific thing before.

One-to-one sessions on your calendar

Book a focused hour by video or voice. Evenings and early mornings are on the grid, because most of our clients cannot take an afternoon out of the business.

Chat between the calls

The thread with your advisor stays open. Send the draft, the numbers or the email before you press send, instead of waiting for the next slot.

Resources chosen for your case

Templates, checklists and worked examples your advisor points you to — a hiring scorecard, a cash-flow sheet, a negotiation script — not a generic library you have to search.

Goals you can see moving

Every session ends with written next actions. They are tracked, reviewed at the follow-up, and closed off or rewritten when reality changes.

Ways to work with an advisor

Start with one session or keep someone alongside you for a quarter — the enquiry form is the same either way.

Single session

One decision, one hour, one advisor who has faced it before.

  • 60-minute one-to-one call
  • Written summary and next actions
  • Chat follow-up after the call
  • Resources chosen for your case
Most requested

Ongoing advisory

A standing advisor for the stretch where the decisions come weekly.

  • Regular scheduled sessions
  • Chat access between calls
  • Goal tracking reviewed each session
  • Same advisor throughout

Career track

For a move, a promotion case or a first leadership role.

  • Positioning and CV review
  • Interview and negotiation practice
  • 90-day plan for the new role
  • Follow-up call once you are in

Team advisory

Seats for a founding team or a department, coordinated in one place.

  • Sessions for several named people
  • Advisors matched per person
  • Shared goals view for the lead
  • One point of contact for scheduling

Fees depend on the advisor and the length of the engagement, and are quoted to you in writing before anything is booked.

How an engagement starts

  1. Tell us the decision

    A few lines in the form below: what you are weighing up and what a good outcome looks like. No forms with twenty fields.

  2. We propose an advisor

    You get a short profile — the sector they work in, the kind of problems they take, how they run a session — and the fee in writing.

  3. Book the hour

    Pick a slot that fits your week. You go in with the context already shared, so the call starts at the problem rather than the introductions.

  4. Leave with next actions

    Written steps, the resources to do them, an open chat thread, and a follow-up booked to check what actually happened.

What clients say

★★★★★
I had been rewriting the same pricing page for a month. One hour with an advisor who had priced this kind of service before, and I had a structure I could defend to customers.
Dana
★★★★★
The chat between sessions is the part I did not expect to use most. Sending a difficult email to someone experienced before I send it has saved me twice already.
Marcus
★★★★☆
Straightforward matching and no runaround on the fee. My advisor pushed back on my first plan, which is what I was paying for.

Before you enquire

What does 'vetted' mean here?

Every advisor is interviewed about the work they have actually done, not the titles they have held. We check that they have operated in the situation they advise on, and we watch how their clients rate sessions over time.

What if the advisor is not the right fit?

Tell us after the first session and we rematch you. The context you have already shared moves across, so you do not start the explanation again.

Do I need to prepare anything?

Send whatever exists — the deck, the numbers, the job description, the half-written email. If nothing exists yet, come with the question. Your advisor reads the context before the call.

Is what I share confidential?

Yes. Advisors are bound to confidentiality on everything discussed in a session or the chat thread, and your details are used only to arrange and run your engagement.

Can my company be invoiced instead of me?

Yes — mention it in your enquiry and we set the billing up that way before the first session is booked.

Tell us what you are deciding

Send a short enquiry and we will come back with a matched advisor and a written fee.

  • An advisory lead reads your enquiry — not a bot.
  • You get a proposed advisor, their background and the fee in writing.
  • Nothing is booked and nothing is charged until you say yes.
